Old School

Ray- the issue w/ the 10's is that because they're longer if you put pressure on the bottom of the mag and you don't have a super tight mag catch lock-up the mag lips sometimes misalign. Now there's loads of fixes for that but, why bother. Flush fitting good quality mags work well. But like anything else you should have dedicated mags for HD that have been proven with the ammo of choice. Or get a GLOCK. I've carried a BHP and 1911 and never had mag issues.

7 & 8's seem to be the most reliable in my experience. 10's are sometime spotty unless you play with them. But most times end being reliable enough for competition. I shoot 7 & 8's

FFLs can have non-compliant rifles. They just can't sell them in NJ.

Didn't you see it said not political....

Dear Abby, My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says he pays the minimum and lets our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest. Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims. Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help? Signed, Lost Dear Lost, Stop whining, Michelle. You're getting to live in the White House for free, travel the world, and have others pay for everything for you. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with the idiot for another year! Signed, Abby

So...j0n is a deer hunter and does well and that was a wonderful drive he made for his dad. So that being said. He stops by my house yesterday and I wasn't at home. But these guys were there to greet him but he didn't see them. Look at the one in the rear looking right at j0n.

In the remote instance that the rifle requires "mortaring" to clear a stuck case How many of these stocks do you thing will hold up? Just a thought...Esspecially with these clapsible pinned stocks we are required to have. I'm kind of leaning toward an Ace Skeleton for the next build.

Old School, I am not sure I get how that checker works. Does that check with a round in or out of the case? That checker is a block with 7 minumin dimension chambers cut in it. You take your finished rounds and run them through the block and you assure yourself zero defects. When we were going to a match I'd remove the barrel an run them through there. This is much easier and you just do it tactily.

What Glenn and Maks said. Just for the record...9mm headspaces on the case mouth and never gets shorter than it's original length. So...if it chambers the case length is within spec. Load your rounds and run them through here and you'll never have a problem: http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content/p/9/pid/25580/catid/3/EGW_Chamber_Checkers

Damn it! I thought I had you Bob. I knew the 6mm PPC was derived from. the 220 Russian. But of course you are right! The 220 Russian was derived from the 7.62X39. But technically you are off by one generation...

Keep me informed of you schedule puppy! I'll meet you there. See what we have to do for me to transport your purchases back home legally, unless you intend to ship them...

So how does a NJ gun owner go about bringing a pistol into the fair state of NY?

If you can pick-up a used press like Maks has with accessories You probably can save some bucks and end up with more accessories to boot!

IMHO it is one of the best presses money can buy. Now it's not a speedy press, it's single stage but starting out with a single stage is the way to go and you will learn to load the right way methodically. Now as the price for the set-up I don't know. But additionally you will need dies of your choice and a shell holder.

I'm drivin'

I'll talk to you about it when I see you but as you know it is a tough business and you really need a nitch. Now realize their are gunsmiths ans "Real Gunsmiths" Colorado School of Trades is one of the best.

It all depends on how you decide to live your life. My family would find this perfectly acceptable. Some of the kids are getting ammo and rifle upgrades for Christmas. Hows this? "Uncle Frank, can I have Partrick's scope when he gets a new rifle?" So I'm going to Christmas Eve dinner with COEs, a rifle, extra scope and bore sighter. And yes, Patrick get's his rifle with the bolt removed and a lock through the loading port/mag well. Merry Christmas to all and to all the 2nd Amendment!!!

+1 Save some little bastard fron the gas chamber.

The yapping rat alerts you of the threat just like a big dog and doesn't eat as much...

- 1k They're loveable critters

Here you go Harry: http://unitedyorkierescue.org/ Yorkies are really deadly. They bite you about the ankles until you bleed out.

I see people sweep others and get swept myself from time to time. Some times I get nasty about it. To go one step farther, before I ever hand or show a firearm to anyone the gun is either open or I open it and show them the chamber. My dad who died recently raised three boys in a firearm household. Yes we all got instruction with the "fear of God". But the thing I will always remember was him dragging us into the garage where there was a dead deer hanging. And him saying, "you kids are pretty smart, do you think you can put this back together?" The message... Once you pull the trigger or there is an AD...Game over! Next time I get swept do you think I'd be justified in attempting to break a jaw? Personally I'm sick and tired of it!

My wife supports Yorkie Rescue. That's where we got Ernie. All the critters are Vet checked with all shots before they go out for adoption.

Congrats to your whole family!
